Prince was a surprise guest at the American Ballet Theatre’s spring gala at the Metropolitan Opera House. The superstar snuck in through a backstage entrance to watch Misty Copeland dance on Monday night and then joined her at the lavish dinner at Lincoln Center. Soloist Copeland performed with Prince at a number of shows on his recent tour, sparking talk that the beautiful classical ballerina is his new muse. Meanwhile, “Real Housewife” Jill Zarin missed Caroline Kennedy‘s opening speech at the gala when she got stuck at the Pittsburgh airport after her flight was delayed seven hours. Her husband, Bobby, dashed to La Guardia to meet her flight carrying her gown. Zarin was able to change in the back of her SUV and get there in time to catch ABT principals Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky in the second act. Also there: Anna Wintour, Tory Burch, Carolina Herrera, Blaine Trump and philanthropist Jean Shafiroff
